• Author: Frank Price, Virginia Vaughan
• Subject: Science and Technology
• Institution Name: BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium
• Collection: BioQUEST Library OnLine
• Grade Level: Post-secondary

• Abstract: Evolve allows students to model evolution and get quick results from population genetics experiments.
  
  With Evolve, you can control:
  * the starting population size
  * overall population size
  * intensity of natural selection
  * pattern of inheritance
  * proportion of migration in a hypothetical population
  
  Learners could develop:
  * a better understanding of evolutionary processes and their interactions
  * the ability to differentiate between the effects of fecundity and survival in natural selection
  * a firmer grasp of some important concepts of Mendelian genetics
  * a greater understanding of experimental design and the use of models
